Welcome Home – Austrian Jamboree 2018

Every now and then I get a request to share an invitation with you. Since it’s our mission to connect (Sea) Scouts of Europe, we will gladly share invitations to events that connect to that mission. Today we share the invitation of HOME 2018, an International Jamboree organised by the Upper Austrian Scouts.

Would you like to invite Sea Scouts of Europe to your own national Jamboree? Let us know through the contact form or any other way you like to contact us and we will help you spreading the message.

WELCOME HOME

Being away, but feeling home. That’s the spirit of the 14th International Scout & Guide Jamboree ‘HOME 2018’ organised by the Upper Austrian Scouts with guests from all over the world from 6th to 15th August 2018. Uniting around 4.000 participants, it will be the biggest multi-day youth-event in Central Europe in 2018.

WHAT’S THE MEANING OF HOME ?

That is exactly the question. What does it mean to you to be at HOME? Where do you feel welcome and safe? Is ‘being at HOME’ a place or a feeling? Just like you, 7.5 billion people feel at HOME somewhere. And yet – or maybe because of it – HOME is a word with as many different meanings. For some it is their own house, for others it is their family or their circle of close friends. Some feel at HOME in the whole wide world, others don’t feel at HOME anywhere – but why?

During the HOME 2018 Jamboree we will address exactly these questions and make these differences into experiences. At the same time we create our temporary HOME – a ‘crazy’ living room with 4,000 co-inhabitants under the open skies, without a closed front door or a permanent roof.
